TRANSMITTER MODE CHANGE
Some users may want to use the transmitter in Mode 1 configuration rather than
the standard Mode 2 that is the normal configuration. The following instructions
outline how to change the transmitter from Mode 2 to Mode 1.
1. Remove the batteries. Then, using a screw driver, remove the four screws on
the back of the transmitter (Figure 1).
2. Gently unplug the battery and trainer cable from the back of the transmitter
case and set the back aside.
3. Identify the S16 jumper on the right side of the transmitter, in stock. In normal
Mode 2 configuration the jumper is on the L side. Remove the jumper and
replace it on the R side.
4. Using a small Phillips screwdriver, remove the eight screws holding the gimbal
assemblies in place.
5. Now switch the positions of the gimbals, while being careful not to damage
the wires. Secure them by replacing the eight screws.
6. Plug the battery and trainer cables back in to the back of the transmitter case
and replace the four screws securing the back of the transmitter. Replace the
batteries.
7. Turn on the transmitter and move the stick to check for proper operation.
